My water just broke... Increase your fluid intake Staying well hydrated is one of the most important things you can do for your baby. It helps keep your temperature down and fight infection. Staying hydrated will also help replenish amniotic fluid, because the more you drink, the more urine your baby will produce. By 27 weeks gestation, your baby produces about 500 ml of urine into the amniotic sac each day. While much of this fluid may leak out again, pockets of fluid may accumulate and help with lung development.
